NMFC 189220 - House Trailer Kits, KD | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Verify the freight matches “house trailer type kits, completely KD, in packages.” Note package count per kit on the BOL and keep a parts list inside the lead carton.
2. Bundle long members (chassis rails, wall panels, roof bows) with edge protectors and steel or poly banding; crate small hardware bags so nothing shakes loose in transit.
3. Mark paperwork and labels: “NMFC 189220 — Class 85 — Non‑Haz.” Skip density-based rating since this item ships at a fixed class when packaged as KD.
4. Plan handling for long pieces: request forklift extensions or 8 ft forks, and schedule delivery appointments for residential or jobsite drops common with trailer kits.

Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.

• Fixed Class 85 provides predictable LTL pricing and helps eliminate costly reclass or inspection disputes.
• KD packaging reduces overall cube versus assembled units, opening more carrier options and lowering accessorial exposure.
• Accurate NMFC alignment strengthens claim defensibility for panel or frame bundle damage, accelerating resolution timelines.
• Clear kit identification speeds quoting and routing, enabling smarter LTL vs. partial truckload decisions for lowest landed cost.
